John Lam Fund Grants

The John Lam Fund

In 2013, the John Lam Fund was created in honor of Honmai Goodman's brother, John Lam. During his life, John cared deeply about helping the homeless and feeding the hungry. One grant will be made from this fund on a yearly basis and the amount of the grant fluctuates from year to year. A typical grant size is $5,000-$10,000. John Lam Fund grants are discretionary in nature and will be given to nonprofits that focus their work on human services in our communities. Grant proposals are by invitation only, the Foundation does not accept unsolicited letters of interest nor grant proposals.
